La ciencia en la actividad física: Viejos y nuevos problemas
La relacin entre el conocimiento cientfico y la actividad fsica ha recorrido una trayectoria histrica problemtica. En este artculo tratamos de identificar las resistencias que han dificultado su integracin, partiendo de cuatro problemas que consideramos bsicos: Indefinicin del Objeto de Estudio, Alejamiento del Conocimiento Cientfico, Marginalidad Institucional, y Artesana Profesional. Despus de definir los problemas, realizamos una revisin de la evolucin del pensamiento occidental para constituir el dualismo cultural como el ncleo histrico latente que los ha originado y sustentado. Posteriormente, analizamos las caractersticas del conocimiento cientfico y la situacin de la actividad fsica respecto de l, siguiendo las categoras de Kuhn (1975). A continuacin, tratamos de identificar las claves del cambio social producido en el pensamiento sobre la actividad fsica en la dos ltimas dcadas, tanto en el nivel de los hbitos y actitudes de los ciudadanos como en el de la integracin institucional en la universidad. Por ltimo, realizamos una serie de propuestas para superar las resistencias que permanecen derivadas de los viejos problemas en la consolidacin de la actividad fsica como rea cientfica. PALABRAS CLAVE: Ciencias Actividad Fsica, Explicaciones Actividad Fsica, Objeto Estudio, Conocimiento Cientfico, Situacin Institucional
The relationship between scientific knowledge and physical activity has had a problematical historical trajectory. In this paper we tried to identify the obstacles that have made the integration of both fields difficult. We began by identifying four basic problems: the identification of the goals of a particular study, the departure from scientific knowledge to study physical activity, the institutional marginality of both fields of study, and the professional merit in the field. After defining these four problems, we reviewed the evolution of occidental thought to identify the cultural dualism that originally gave rise to the problems. Thereafter, we examined the characteristics of scientific knowledge and the relation of physical activity with respect to them, following Kuhn's categories ( 1975 ). Additionally, we tried to identify the keys of social change produced by thought on physical activity in the last two last decades, identify changes in the attitudes and habits of the general public, as well as those in the institutional integration in the university. Finally, we wrote a series of proposals to overcome the resistance that remains derivative of the old problems in establishing physical activity as a scientific area. KEY WORDS: Sport Sciences, Physical Activity Explanations, Study Object, Scientific Knowledge, Intitutional Situation
